The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, the leading charity evaluator in America, for its sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency.

Since 2002, Charity Navigator used data-driven analysis and awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. Charity Navigator now reviews 17 governance and ethical practices, as well as measures of openness, evaluating roughly 5,500 mid-to-large sized charities that garner about 50 percent of all private contributions made in the USA each year.

Earning a four out of a possible four stars indicates that the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids adheres to good governance and consistently executes its mission of reducing teen substance abuse and supporting families impacted by addiction in a fiscally responsible way.

“Approximately a quarter of the charities we evaluate have received our highest rating, indicating that Partnership for Drug-Free Kids outperforms most other charities in America,” said Ken Berger, President and CEO, Charity Navigator, “This ‘exceptional’ designation from Charity Navigator differentiates the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
